    Contributed by Charles Wilkerson on Nov 14, 2003
    based on 11 ratings
     | 3,636 views

    Our love isn’t defined by our world, our parents, or even our own feelings but by Jesus’ life. We love one another the way Jesus loved us. What does this mean? Let me give you four marks that you can remember if you can spell the word LOVE.

    If I describe various people could you identify the group they belong to? The first are saffron-colored robed men working over a sand painting in the Library downtown? (Followers of the Dalai Lama) What about two guys on bicycles, white shirts, ties and little black badges on their pockets? (LDS) ...read more

    Did you see the recent report about the Christmas spending habits of Canadians? Apparently Albertans spend the most - as much as $900 a person.

    How our pride and arrogance keeps us from seeing that our calling in life is to love those around us and share the blessings that we have been given by God. "The Rich Man and Lazarus"

    Placing the Story: condemnation of: wealth equals righteous and poverty equals sin.

Are we being ...read more

    Five godly qualities which Mary possessed that mark her off as perhaps the greatest mother of all time.

    The Greatest Mother of All Luke 1:46-49 The producers of the TV program, “The Simpsons” have gone too far in my estimation.
